Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- At 3.3mm thick, it is one of the thinnest UV filters available, virtually eliminating vignetting on wide-angle lenses
- EVERCLEAR 5 multi-coating resists water, oil, dust, soil, and scratches for easier cleaning and durability
- Ultra-lightweight design ensures no interference with autofocus systems
- High-transmission glass maintains image clarity and accurate color rendition
👎 Cons
- The ultra-slim profile leaves minimal rim to grip when threading the filter on or off the lens
- 52mm size only fits lenses with that specific thread diameter without a step-up adapter
- The thin frame lacks a front thread, which may prevent stacking additional filters on top
- Premium slim design comes at a higher price than standard-thickness UV filters
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the 3.3mm thickness benefit wide-angle lens users?
At just 3.3mm, this is among the thinnest UV filters available, which prevents the filter ring from encroaching into the frame edges on wide-angle lenses—eliminating the corner darkening (vignetting) that thicker filters can cause.
What is EVERCLEAR 5 multi-coating technology?
EVERCLEAR 5 is Cokin's five-layer coating system that provides water repellency, anti-oil, anti-dust, anti-soil, and scratch resistance, keeping the filter surface cleaner and easier to maintain than uncoated or single-coated alternatives.
Will this filter affect autofocus performance?
No, the filter's ultra-lightweight construction and high-transmission glass are specifically designed not to interfere with autofocus systems.
Does this filter reduce any visible light or alter color balance?
The high-transmission glass is engineered to pass visible light with minimal loss or color shift, so image quality remains virtually unchanged while UV haze is reduced.
